The third shawl in my cabled shawl series. Start off with sweetly undulating cables that are reminiscent of ripples of water across the ocean surface. They would make a lovely shawl in and of themselves, but we don’t stop there. The waves blend and merge and become a whole new pattern to finish out with an extravagant cabling that really s...

This gorgeous asymmetric scarf/shawl starts out small and grows gradually. It’s a perfect showcase for a yarn with long-color changes or for a lightly variegated yarn. One skein? No problem! Both of the samples shown in the pattern use only one skein- one of a 652 yd lace-weight and the other of a 350 yard fingering. The lace pattern has a...

This shawl is my second in my series of crocheted cabled shawls. After hearing (loud and clear- hahaha!) that Moria was quite the yarn eater, I went about designing something cable-y and beautiful, but with much less yarn. Hence, Baleygr!

This lovely shawl, reminiscent of birds flying in their great formations to warmer lands, will give you just a smidge of luxurious warmth to carry you through the blustery winter into the sunnier days of spring.

These side-to-side, asymmetric scarf/shawls are perfect for those unknown quantities of yarn. Did you catch the plural use? Yes, there are two patterns in here. Grackle increases almost symmetrically to have a lovely, traditionally triangle-shaped shawl . The bonus Lorikeet chart included in this pattern has long, slow increases for a much more ...

These sweet little mitts work up quickly with an easy to memorize (but lovely!) 2 row repeat. Make them as long or as short as you like. Instructions are included to make the mitts larger or smaller for your own custom fit.

Are you planning to enjoy chilly seaside evenings? Do you want a little extra layer, but it’s not quite cold enough for a coat? Then this is the piece for you- a short and sweet shoulder warmer/poncho. A little, light cabling keeps things interesting and gives good practice leading up to more challenging cable patterns.

More exploration with cables! Cables lead the way across this side-to-side trapezoid shaped shawl. A simple change to the background stitch keeps it interesting throughout and opens up the work to make this a lovely lacy shawl perfect for warming weather. Oh, and don’t forget the beautiful beads you have the option of adding to further mak...

Envious of all the gorgeous knit cable-work? Would you love to have a crochet pattern with the same intricacy? Look no further! Another in my cabled shawl series, this shawl takes the same basic template as the Simply Put and trades braids for the twists and a more traditional medallion cable for the spine.

Make your own fancy lace that calls to mind English gardens filled with lavender and tea roses without being so distracted with the construction of this shawl that you miss the key clue to solving whodunnit.

This is my first in a series of cabled shawl patterns I’m developing. The columns of cables ending in impressive medallion motifs reminded me so much of the halls of Moria- hence the name. These elegant cables give texture, depth, and interest to this generous-sized shawl. It wraps completely and snugly around the shoulders with a 92”...

Warm up with this luscious, thick scarf with meandering cables to give texture and handsome detail. A photo-tutorial gives instructions on how to eliminate the holes normally created by crocheted cables, so there is a perfectly solid back-side to the scarf-- no wind or cold will be slipping through this fabric!

Keep your neck and shoulders toasty warm and show off your crochet cabling skills with this gorgeous, lush wrap! Start with a ribbed neckline and then work downwards so you can customize every step of the way.

#4 in my cabled shawl series. Simply Put is a classic shawl that has an amazing cable along the spine as the focal point. Learn how to make horizontal cables, too, for sweet edgings that frame your cabled shawls perfectly.

Handsome cables lend a sophisticated appeal to this cushy scarf. The pattern includes a photo-tutorial to show how to eliminate the holes you normally find with crocheted cables, so there is no chance of chilly breezes finding their way in!

Flip-top mittens that combine the warmth and coverage of a full mitten with the convenience of fingerless mitts. These are started at the wrist with side-to-side ribbing and then worked upwards towards the fingertips. The split-single crochet gives a denser, sturdier fabric with a knit look. The spike stitches give texture and interest.

Not only gorgeous, but functional too! Show off an intricate lace pattern that you made while having hair conveniently held out of the way. This headband uses a sewn-in elastic at the back for further comfort and to protect hair from being pulled or tangled in ties or buttons.

“There is no greater adornment for a woman than the beauty of her own hair” unless, of course, that hair is stylishly held back with a gorgeous lace headband made with skill and a fabulous color thread! You don’t have to worry about hair catching in ties or tangling on buttons, either-- this pattern uses sewn-in elastic for a b...

Headbands never go out of style. Wide and then thin and then back again. This thin headband has a cluster-stitch repeat that has strength and beauty. A sewn-in elastic closure protects your hair from being caught in ties or tangled in buttons.

This beautiful shawl is a simple, easy to memorize 3-row repeat that just flies by until the edging. It finishes with a spectacular show of clusters and picots. This lovely shawl is great to add warmth during the chill of winter while looking forward to spring’s renewal.

A sweet summery piece reminiscent of a field of wild berries, this scarf/shawl works up fast but is never boring. It’s a side-to-side asymmetric shawl that can be made with any size yarn and is perfect for one-skein projects or those smaller or unknown quantities of yarn.

My daughter always chooses stylish jackets that have no hood, and when winter winds come whipping, she wishes she had chosen function over style. So, I came up with this lovely hood that tucks well into the neck of her jacket and protects her precious head from the chill.

Crocheted cables are beautiful. They are full of texture and movement and add considerable interest to projects. However, they have been given short shrift because of some less than appealing qualities, most notably the difficulty in keeping stitch counts correct as you skip over the stitches behind the post stitches and the holes created in the...

Cables are gorgeous in and of themselves, but sometimes you want to do a little more with them, like add some color. Using the ghost stitch to make crocheted cables has an added benefit of making color changes so very easy, and it keeps the back side of the work neat and tidy with no holes.

This pattern is based on the shawl worn by Saffron in the episode “Our Mrs. Reynolds” in the TV show Firefly. Using still-shots of the TV show, I tried my best to replicate the classic chevron lace that composes this shawl. To be absolutely true to the show, the yarn from the still-shots looks like it would be a cranberry color brush...

This lovely lace stole is wonderful for dressing up a casual outfit or wearing to an elegant event. The center panel is worked from a foundation chain outwards in both directions for balance and symmetry. An impressive bobble/picot edging is added after, worked in the round.

These sweet fingerless mitts evoke an elegance that I sometimes wish was still a part of every day life. Use these mitts to add the finishing touch to that special outfit, or use them as a beautiful and practical way to keep your hands warm in too-cool offices.

My favorite time of the year is when the roses start to bloom. They come as early as March when the first warm rays of spring bathe the flower beds and last through the summer until finally autumn’s chill tucks them in for the winter. But roses require work to come up beautifully year after year, which means you need something to keep the ...

This is a top-down crescent shawl that features a sweet little parliamentary of cabled owls perched on the bottom edge. Block it gently for a warm winter shawl, or block it even more open for a light and lacy spring/summer accessory.
